Margaret Avery

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."

"You scratched a song right outta my head."

"How long you and Albert been a thang?"

"You tryin' to tell me you don't know your own husband's name?"

"Just another way of sayin' "master" if you as k me."

"That man can't stand up to his own daddy but got everybody callin' him mister like he the only one in town."

"If you ain't gon' laugh, you need to sell your funny bone."

"And got the brightest beam this side of the Mason Dixon!"

"Ain't you got somethin' to make you hop out of bed every mornin' and just smile?"

"When you think about `em does your heart get full like the first time you held `em?"

"That's how I know my pa still in this world ."
